— On the Shores of Loch Katrine (5/12)
Belle shifted on one foot nervously in front of her father’s house. She’d been standing outside the door for a good ten minutes or so. She felt like a teenager again, afraid to face her father.
It wasn’t that she hated her father. She loved him. He was all she had left of her family, since her mother’s passing. But even so, Belle had a complicated relationship with Moe French, stemming from misunderstandings, failed financial endeavors, and a good deal of miscommunication. There was no real reason to invite him to her ‘wedding’, considering the whole thing was a farce, but Belle didn’t want to harm the relationship further. If her father heard that she had gotten married and moved to Scotland (no matter how short a period of time) he would never forgive her.
